I just bought a cheap car charger which has a USB slot, and I must say
it works very well with the FreeRunner. As a bonus, I can also charge my
other Samsung phone with it (with the USB data cable that came with
it :))

Then I also bought a cheap (5 €) mobile holder for the car - modified it
slightly and now it holds my FR for GPS navigation and I can still plug
in the charger, so that the display doesn't dim while navigating ;).
